God doesn’t want us to cope. He wants us to lead. Start here.
We are using substitutes as crutches for what we’ve lost: a baseline expectation of healthy masculinity. We no longer have mentors to model it for us from boyhood. We no longer have a culture that calls us to it. Absent encouragement—with our nature even demonized—we seek dopamine hits to cope with the stress of life and downward spirals of guilt and shame.
This is where Fathers for Fathers is gathering men together to begin renewing themselves and each other. This is no ‘calling out’. This is a calling-up.

Episode 28 – "The Huddle with former NFL Quarterback Jeff Kemp"
On episode 28 of the Fathers for Fathers podcast with host Jonathan Lewis, former NFL quarterback Jeff Kemp confronts men with something they’ve let slide: to make it a priority to have a huddle of men in life who keep you accountable. As Kemp describes, there’s no more powerful company than another man who says, “You too? I thought it was only me.” Choosing and nurturing honest friendships, says Kemp, is how fathers, sons, and friends begin to rebuild, forgive, and reach their full potential.
Jeff Kemp is a former NFL quarterback who played 11 seasons for the Rams, 49ers, Seahawks, and Eagles. Today he’s a Soul Coach to CEOs and Fatherhood Ambassador for The Fatherhood CoMission. He leads MEN HUDDLE & CORE 3 COACHING to equip men to live from their identity as sons of God and build deep, life-giving friendships.
